[Vibrant General] canyon289:
I just bought a Vibrant and decided to install some custom roms on it but I'm completely inundated from the number of options. Been looking around and I'm confused by a number of concepts and would like to ask. Hopefully no one gets offended if I ask them all here.

Uv - I know this means undervolted and this should improve the battery life but is there anything else I should know? Also how did the developers manage to both undervolt AND overclock the cpu, that seems like quite a feat.

Secondly

What combination of kernel/rom/modem provides good batt life (20+ hours) of casual use but somewhat high performance (1400+ quadrant)

I was looking at this rom but I don't know which kernel provides best batt life without lag and gps isses

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=810725&page=7

Any input or help would be great. Sorry if these are repeated questions
[Vibrant General] oka1:
If you want to understand the algorithms and multipliers in cpu usage (why uv) it is easier understood to look at a desktop cpu explanation look that up on an asus board or others, this will explain it very well. Or look up on wiki

Starting out, if you want a good snappy responsive rom, then get one of the package roms and then tinker a bit with it until you really understand the "hows and whys" of the rom.

If you want best battery then get Axura, it has the best battery (20-30hr med use) and excellent GPS, but that said, All the roms will provide good battery and all are really excellent. The M2, Bionix, Trigger, etc.

All are pretty awesome. Start using a package rom 1st. Just pick one
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I have trigger 2.6.4 with OverStock kernel... I recalibrated my battery and it lasts 24 hours. 1750 quadrant.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Yes Trigger is awesome big fan of trigger............ keep swapping between Axura and trigger:)
[Android Software Development] MantaZumanity:
Can somebody tell me how to enable themes on custom roms?
[Android Software Development] cjward23:
It all depends on what rom you are running. If you are you using CM7 there is a built in theme chooser.

The best bet is to have a look in theme section in your phones forum, and try and find a flashable theme for the rom your are running.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Okay im trying to get 2.3.3 Stock rooted rom onto my phone so it can be used if CM7 goes tits up on me.

I currently have 2.3.2 Rooted stock ROM as my Back up & CM7 as my main.

Every time i try and install a 2.3.3 rom / back up posted on these forums i either get a crash on the google splash screen or an Error code status 7 error ( i think this is to do with an HBOOT, a si have tryed to flat a updated Hboot prior to installing 2.3.3 )

Any ideas guys ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onei0077:
Q and A section would be more appropriate for a question...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:

Epic Fail for me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicknowsky:
probably post it in Q&A, im sure someone will answer it for there, ya know before the MODs have to hassle with it.

And Im interested in the this also, for future reference, Im thinking about flashing CM, but I do like stock rooted 2.3, this is the whole point of our device, a rooted stock phone, its what everyone strives for on the other devices. Anyways yeah I'd like to know if there is a special procedure for reverting back to Stock ROOT
[G Tablet General] ksc6000:
I can't figure this out. The sound will randomly stop working on my Gtab.

No matter what I do, besides rebooting I cannot get it to come back on. When I try to go into sound options and touch the media slider or the alarm slider the activity force closes.

I have Vegan 5.1 installed with the 5.11 supplement over it.

I've tried wiping and installing fresh multiple times and it keeps happening. Only a reboot fixes it.

If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it.
[G Tablet General] lifeisfun:
It won't help you but I have the same problem :(

I discovered this while disconnecting BT headset and the audio was

never rerouted back to speakers.
[G Tablet General] P00r:
Add me to the list, but playing with the 3 slider revived it, hapened after I pluged the earphones and removed them
[G Tablet General] vballrkc:
Hey guys I too have this problem and cannot fix it
[G Tablet General] ThinkerT:
I've noticed the same problem. Running Vegan 5.11 also.
[G Tablet General] ksc6000:
So is this a problem only vegan users are seeing? Anybody with TNT or any of the other ROMs seeing this at all?
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
Yeah, it happens with me also, the only thing that seems to work is to plug in a headset into the audio jack and remove it while the audio is playing.
[G Tablet General] ksc6000:
I can't believe more people are not having this problem. I mean the headphones removal thing doesn't even work for me. I pretty much always have to reboot. It makes this great tablet such a pain in the butt to use.
[G Tablet General] ralfaro:
Same for me here...

Same for me here... :( Using TnT Lite 4.2.0

Audio works perfectly in my bluetooth stereo headset. Turning off bluetooth, I have no audio from speakers, and only from right when using headphones via the audio jack...

Don't know what to do.

UPDATE:

In my case it appears that some headphones plug pushed the last tab too far, leaving it making contact with something that disables speakers. I tested this by playing with a plug, moving it to the sides until sound comes back for a second. I tried to pull out the tab from inside the jack but I couldn't. Any one has disassembled the GTab and checked if the tabs are accessible from outside the jack housing?

ANOTHER UPDATE:

OMG I think I made the jack become loose, maybe I pushed too hard...

Time to get it disassembled to check from inside :-S
[G Tablet General] ralfaro:
Playing "I got a feeling" in the external speakers !

I got it fixed... I had to open it, adjust the headphones jack's tabs and resolder.

What I learned:

1. Will never plug anything in that jack ! It's too fragile. It doesn't have reinforcing tabs, only the six surface contacts soldered... I'm really disappointed about this. So, only Bluetooth headphones for me.

2. The audio jack housing is very fragile as well, I cracked mine.

3. I had to reinforce both audio and power jacks with melted glue and a plastic tab between them.

3. I will use the power jack very gentle from now on. It's the same install like the audio jack, too fragile. If the tablet falls with the power cable connected, it will broke for sure.

4. I'm going to replace this tablet for another with android but with better construction, I suppose motorola or samsung.

Well, happy anyway that the speakers are working again.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Plug in headphones, wait.... pull out headphones. Yay!!! sound again. I just started carrying a pigtail with me in my Gtab case. Just the plug from old crap headphones I cut off.
[G Tablet General] ksc6000:
Something I've noticed that helps a lot is to not press the volume button in increments. Just hold it and not let go until you've reached the appropriate level.
[G Tablet General] ksc6000:
This, as I mentioned does NOT at all work for me. Ever. It's never once worked to do that.

At this point I'm really considering ponying up another 200 or so and get something that I don't have to reboot 5 times a day.
[Droid 2 General] xzillerationer:
This could potentialy be used to get truly custom ROMs on the D2/DX/Motoblur ridden phones. Honeycomb here I come!
[Droid 2 General] rusty815:
Sir, if you could use this to port newer versions of android and other operating systems such as meego and maybe even webos, you are truly the savior of our locked phones :O

Sent from my BLAZING FAST Droid 2 Global using the XDA app
[Droid 2 General] problematic:
From my understanding (not a coder or even a regular linux user), a chroot environment is just running an OS within your OS. Meego (maybe I'm thinking of Maemo?) should definitely be possible, I think there is an ARM build somewhere. Fedora was involved with them in some way, and I think might have an ARM build of one of their older releases.

Truly custom ROMs? Not sure, maybe Linux on the phone will be of help to devs?

I was hoping maybe Droid 2 bootstrapper could be modified to fastboot into the install. That still wouldn't be a true bootloader unlock and we still have drivers to worry about and might not even be possible, just an idea.
[Droid 2 General] xzillerationer:
Well, we might be able to hijack to boot to maybe run CyanogenMod(at last!) . I can for sure, that would rule. I used CM on my old phone(the ultra moddable Droid Eris(HTC FTW!)), and it was the greatest rom I've ever seen
[Droid 2 General] kanek06:
It is possible to port it to Milestone 2?
[Droid 2 General] bananasock:
This is a sweet little tutorial that I've been following and I'm excited to get Ubuntu up and running... if I do get it up and running. Problematic mentions a problem where '/bin/sh can't access tty; job control turned off' and I also hit this. I'm pretty new too linux, I've only really got into it upon the purchase and rooting of my Droid 2 and I haven't been able to find anything that can help me fix this problem. Has anyone else gotten past this and had ubuntu running on the Droid 2? Or could someone point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated.
[Droid 2 General] badboyXP:
Can u mirror Ubuntu Laika-Beta1.2a ?. I can't download at filefactory now. Or can I use another ubuntu image ? :D
[Droid 2 General] kanek06:
Can someone answer? Is it possible to run it on Milestone 2?
[Droid 2 General] problematic:
Should be. There shouldn't be enough differences between the two for this to not work. I have a hard time thinking of a scenario where this wouldn't work for an andrioid phone. I think the main requirement is having a fairly recent version of busybox installed.

You can use any armel image of Linux. Currently I think this mainly applies to Ubuntu, there should be ARM builds for other distros out there, but these are tough to find. A skilled enough developer should be able to port any distro they wish.

This seems to be a bug from chrooting a preinstall image without any kind of real setup. I found you can do a lot of this manually, (If you're interested try googling the MAKEDEV command, I think that generated ttys for me.) but I'm still searching for a real solution. Currently I'm considering trying the debootstrap method, the "ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img" image could be the ticket as well.
[Droid 2 General] badboyXP:
thanks, i'll try with Ubuntu-Netbook 10.10

Would be great, I feel that my Focus just waste a lot of MBs from the data connection
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
no current feature in the phone shows this, and no APIs exist for an app to be created for this.

at present the only way to know is by checking with your carrier. most large carriers have a website which you can log into and check how much you're using.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raman_mogal:
I am on at&t and it shows the data used in at&t mywireless application.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eried:
My local carrier also indicates the data used, but with a 15 minutes delay.

Also it's different to check the carrier value than the real device counter
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
that and carriers tend to charge by the block, rather than literal count. for example, i'm on vodafone and they charge in blocks of 50kb. yes that's huge, but checking my bill, i've seen the data usage at one time and it says it's like 6 hours, some are even longer, so i don't mind then if it's a 50kb block charge.

I am trying Bluetooth tethering using PdaNet. It pairs up but the 3G still shows unlike when I'm using WiFi. I cant tell if its really tethered or not? Can the 3G be turned off independently of Bluetooth? Can't find a setting for that.

You do realize that tethering uses your data right?

Since SetCPU was updated today to support the tegra II chip, I thought I would just give you all a heads up. Hope to see some kernels compiled with overclocking slots soon.
[G Tablet General] kodakeos:
Cant you overclock by hand without that?
[G Tablet General] coolestmage:
There are a few other apps and methods to overclock. The newest version of setcpu is able to see the slots in clemsyn's kernel, but they don't exceed 1ghz.
[G Tablet General] familiarstranger:
Looks like the xoom is already OCd to 1.5. Can't wait to see some kernels for us too
[G Tablet General] miphonematt:
Wrong section.

At any rate, I'm sure once coolbho3000 puts his overclock code in github, the kernel devs around here may be able to get these puppies overclocked as well. The difference being that the Xoom as a .36 based kernel as where we are still running .32 based kernels, so there is just as much chance that it doesn't port.

When posting, think of the content and context. This thread is about an app. But this section is for Guides, Kernels, and ROMs to be released. I know this section is where most folks spend most or all of their timing reading/posting, but there are 4 sections for a reason, to keep content organized and relevant. Let's help the mods do that by posting in the appropriate section.

[G Tablet General] Blades:
There is a big difference between 36 and 32. Honestly, I only assume this from looking at the latest 38 rc commits and comparing the two. But it seems to be significant, even in its comments and verbosity. What's missing is cpu-tegra.c or the cpufreq driver for tegra written by Colin Cross (android dev) - instead we have NVIDIA's cryptic cpufreq.c .. I can barely understand what's going on with most code.. but it seems like our kernel version is from a time where NVIDIA's code was still being sorted thru by the aforementioned Google dev.
